BASF ups cost of UV resins

BASF has increased the price of its UV resins (Laromer product range) in the EMEA region by 3 - 10% depending on product type. The price hike for UV-resins - used for UV-curable inks, varnishes and coatings - takes place with immediate effect, or as existing contracts allow. The company said the continued increase in raw materials prices as well as Reach registration costs are the cause.
